Kim Tae-ho Show Hits 1% Ratings, Ends in Disappointment

MBC's entertainment program 'Manitto Club' is set to conclude after three consecutive weeks of declining viewership ratings. The final episode, airing on the 26th, will depict the cast's last journey supporting the Ulsan Whales, the KBO's first civic club. 'Manitto Club' saw a continuous drop in ratings after recording 2.3% in its eighth episode, reaching a personal low of 1.0% in the most recent eleventh episode.

A pre-released video ahead of the final broadcast showed the members diligently practicing the choreography for the "Ulsan Invincible" cheering song in preparation for the secret manitto event. Lee Sun-bin showcased her "top instructor" side by leading a dance class and teaching poses inspired by orca tails. Cha Tae-hyun livened up the atmosphere with impromptu role-playing, and Chef Yoon Nam-no added warmth by comparing Lee Sun-bin to a "pretty online lecturer." He elicited laughter with a solemn "punch-down" pose during a section reminiscent of a military song, while Lee Soo-ji turned the set into a sea of laughter with her hip dance. However, Lee Sun-bin reined in the members who were slacking off during practice with a roar, and Park Bo-young reinforced their determination by stating, "Repetitive practice is the only way to survive."

After successfully completing their choreography practice, the members made a surprise appearance behind the Ulsan Whales players on the day of the decisive match, marking the highlight of the secret manitto event. Park Bo-young added to the emotional impact by performing the cheering song choreography, still imperfect, for the players who were unaware of the event's true nature. Viewers are raising their expectations about how the audience will react to the cheering song choreography prepared by the members and what conclusion their supportive journey for the Ulsan Whales will reach.
